They just charge whatever folks are willing to pay. People will see an ad, call em up, and shell it out.

Here's the link for the radiator from Northern...

http://www.northernfactory.com/DETAIL.asp?PART=CR5030

I don't see a way to order online, but it gives all the phone numbers for their various locations across the U.S. (None anywhere near Florida where I am, of course, but with the name "Northern" that's no big surprise...)

One thing that I hear about aluminum radiators. You don't want one that uses Epoxy in the construction.

No, thats way to much to spend, call them and ask about one of their "Stock Car" radiators.....they have all sizes (I go oversize anyways) and they are easy to install and IIRC they run about $250....that's what I have always used.....

Just buy a 19x22" aluminum 2 row radiator...universal fit from summit or jegs. Crossflow style....inlet on bottom drivers side, outlet on the upper passenger side. You can use your stock water pump and timing chain cover. Go to an exhaust shop. Have them bend you a nice S bend piece of aluminum. Mount that to the lower inlet, and run it along the bottom of your radiator so the other end is at the stock location...then just run a stock radiator hose.

All of this can be done for under $200.

I should have this setup complete in January or so.

Thanks

Thanks everyone, you've all been a lot of help!

I planned on relocating the battery to the trunk for aesthetic reasons, so I guess I should get the biggest rad I can? Bigger is better, right?
